Quote/s of the Day – 1 November – The Solemnity of All the Saints

“All saints give testimony to the truth, that without real effort, no one ever wins the crown.”

St Thomas à Becket (1118-1170)

“A ray of light enables us to see the dust that is in the air. In the same way, the lives of the Saints show up our defects. If we fail to see our faults, it is because we have not looked at the lives of holy men and women.”

St Anthony of Padua (1195-1231) Doctor of the Church

“God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure but He does. what is still more wonderful, He makes saints out of sinners.”

Soren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

“In heaven, we shall not meet with indifferent glances, because all the elect will discover that they owe to each other, the graces that merited the crown for them.”

St Thérèse of the Child Jesus (1873-1897) Doctor of the Church

“Life holds only one tragedy, ultimately, not to have been a saint.”

Charles Péguy (1873-1914)

“A saint takes his hands off the steering wheel of his life and lets God steer.”

“A saint is one who sees who the tramp is: Jesus”

Peter Kreeft

“The faith that I love best, says God, is hope. Faith doesn’t surprise me. It’s not surprising I am so resplendent in my creation… . That in order really not to see me these poor people would have to be blind. Charity says God, that doesn’t surprise me. It’s not surprising. These poor creatures are so miserable that unless they had a heart of stone, how could they not have love for one another. How could they not love their brothers. How could they not take the bread from their own mouth, their daily bread, in order to give it to the unhappy children who pass by. And my son had such love for them… . But hope, says God, that is something that surprises me. Even me. That is surprising. That these poor children see how things are going and believe that tomorrow things will go better. That they see how things are going today and believe that they will go better tomorrow morning. That is surprising and it’s by far the greatest marvel of our grace. And I’m surprised by it myself. And my grace must indeed be an incredible force.”

~ Charles Peguy

Jeanette: The childhood of Joan of Arc Ever since I visited The Met in New York and stumbled across the helmet worn by Joan of Arc into battle on display there, she has become something of an obsession to me. I usually find myself pondering how is it that a girl who hears voices could unite a nation at war, lead a series of successful military campaigns with no training, and then end her life being burned at the stake as a witch to transform into a national icon after her death? French director Bruno Dumont took his inspiration on the subject of Joan’s childhood directly from the Charles Peguy poem The Mystery of the Charity of Joan of Arc. Peguy’s poem dives into the spiritual mysteries of the visions and voices that inspired this young lady to join the fight against the English during the Hundred Years’ War. Dumont does a brilliant job creating a visual narrative that takes Joan from an innocent child to the moment of her powerful spiritual awakening. He says “Everyone knows her story in adult life and her end. I don’t want to re-visit what’s already been done. What hasn’t been explored so much is her childhood… What interests me is how Jeannette became Joan of Arc.” He certainly did his best to answer that question. What adds to the value of this film for me is the fact that all the actors in it were individuals I didn’t know. I found I could lose myself in Joan’s story more easily because of this. Plus the musical scoring was simply fantastic with the visual narrative. It was crafted by Gautier Serre.

“The only source of strength, of courage, and of all dignity is in being loved.”

Unfortunately Charity is obvious. Charity can walk on its own. To love your neighbor you just have to let yourself go, you just have to look around at all the distress. In order not to love you would have to do violence to yourself, torture yourself, torment yourself, frustrate yourself. Harden yourself. Hurt yourself. Distort yourself. Run yourself backwards, turn yourself inside-out. Thwart yourself. Charity is completely natural, simple, overflowing, very easy-coming. It's the first movement of the heart. And the first movement is the right one. Charity is a mother and a sister. In order not to love your neighbor, my child, you would have to shut your eyes and plug your ears. To so many cries of distress. But hope is not obvious. Hope does not come on its own. To hope, my child, you would have to be quite fortunate, to have obtained, received a great grace. It's faith which is easy and not believing which would be impossible. It's charity which is easy and not loving which would be impossible. But it's hoping which is difficult. And the easy thing and the tendency is to despair and that's the great temptation.

Charles Peguy, On the mystery of hope.
